Da'Rel Scott

\
This week? Nothing, apparently because of a high ankle sprain for the oft-injured Scott.\

\
“Mostly, it’s his ankles,” coach Ralph Friedgen said. “I guess he’s like a thoroughbred. When he’s well. he definitely helps us - and not only on special teams.”\

(Credit to Ralph for keeping the analogy to simply “a thoroughbred.” During camp last season, he compared one hurting player to “what’s the name of that horse” - meaning star-crossed Kentucky Derby champion Barbaro).\

\
Back to Ralph on Scott:\

\
“I didn’t remember him getting hurt against Rutgers,” he said. “He came in [last] Sunday and said he had a high ankle sprain and didn’t practice all week. I thought he was a little bit better during warm-ups, but he’s having trouble cutting. I hope with the week off, he should be ready by the next week if he doesn’t re-injure it.”\

\
With Scott, that’s a definite concern. As much as fans (not to mention Ralph) are mesmerized by his speed , his impact will be limited so long as he is fending off nagging injuries seemingly every other week.\
